WWW,
November 2014 - The urban, futuristic
atmosphere of this release is depicted in
the art work that comes with it. Over ten
minutes of deep Dub created from two brand
new original Dubroom riddims: here is Dub
Whyze!
In many
ways, this release marks the beginning of
yet another change in the Dubroom's studio.
With the recent arrival of Propellerhead's
Reason 8.0 music production software and the
Dubroom's in-depth coverage of the Digital
Audio Workstation (DAW) came changes for the
way the music is actually produced. Those
who follow the Dubroom recently will have
noticed all this coverage as it was the sole
focus of the Dubroom throughout the months
October and November in this 2014. Several
tracks have been created and put on You Tube
as part of this coverage, but Dub Whyze is
the first official release from the
Dubroom's Net Label.
Both tracks
have an effect on the vocals that is, to say
the least, highly controversial. It works on
the vocal and gives it a different melody.
The effect is called "Auto Tune"
and much is said about it. Some claim it can
turn the worst voice into the best singer
but that's not the way it's used in this
release. As with everything in Dub, effects
are there to be noticed and not to cover up
anything. Love it or like it, but the effect
does give a special vibe to the overall mix
and in itself justifies the cover art.
No need for
any further tech-know? Here's two tracks for
your musical pleasure.
TRACK
DESCRIPTIONS
Murderation
YY
The tempo
is slow, drum and bass lay down a heavy
line: When You Hear This One It's Serious.
From start to end, that is. In a cool and
dreadly pace that should not be
underestimated. Horns, guitars and other
instruments drop in and out as they get totally
transformed by the multitude of effects and
detailed mixing work. A Dub with a deeper
meaning for real.
Urban
Poison
The city
without pity. For a dread it can be hard to
dwell in it. Keeping your roots and culture
where they should be is often made
impossible by a multitude of rules,
regulations and repression. That's what this
track is all about. A steppers drum with a
bassline that says a thing or two,
instruments and echo's get splattered into a
million pieces like breaking glass: another
hard hitting Dub from the Dubroom studio and
net label.
